BEIJING — An explosion at a chemical factory in eastern China yesterday night (Aug 22) has jangled nerves a little more than a week after a series of blasts killed more than 120 people at a chemical storage facility about 200 miles (322 kilometres) away, Chinese media reported.
The explosion yesterday, which tore through a chemical plant in Zibo, in Shandong province, injured at least nine people, although no deaths have been reported, according to a microblog post by the Zibo Public Security Bureau. The post said the fire had been “basically controlled” and the victims had been taken to a hospital. The explosion was caused when canisters containing a chemical used to produce nylon burst, the Shandong Fire Control Department said on its official microblog.
The blast heightened concerns about China’s growing chemical industry and what many say are lax regulations that can endanger residents. It follows two explosions at a chemical warehouse Aug 12 in the port city of Tianjin that killed at least 121 people, injured more than 700 and left 54 still missing.
